LCV Endorses Mazie Hirono for U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) announced its endorsement of Rep. Mazie Hirono for U.S. Senate.

“The League of Conservation Voters is proud to endorse Mazie Hirono for U.S. Senate because she has fought to protect the rich natural beauty of Hawaii and build a vibrant clean energy economy,” said LCV President Gene Karpinski. “Representative Hirono understands that investments in a clean energy future are investments in well-paying, stable jobs for Hawaiians for generations to come.”

Rep. Hirono’s record of supporting numerous pro-environment bills on climate change, clean air and clean water, as well as working to hold corporate polluters responsible for their actions, has earned her a stellar lifetime score of 96% on the LCV National Environmental Scorecard.*

A recent Public Policy Polling survey, conducted on behalf of LCV, finds that Rep. Hirono holds a 9-point lead over former Gov. Linda Lingle in the U.S. Senate race.

If the candidates for Senate this fall were Democrat Mazie Hirono and Republican Linda Lingle, who would you vote for?
